The Storm are hopeful they can re-sign young halfback Ben Hampton in what is shaping to be a player market of mixed success for the Victorian club.

Inking the signatures of captain Cameron Smith, Jesse Bromwich, Kevin Proctor and Tohu Harris have come at the expense of losing others.

Young prop Mitch Garbutt has announced he will leave the club at season’s end to join the Brisbane Broncos on a two-year deal, while Ben Roberts and Cody Walker will also move on at season’s end.

Hampton, off contract in October, has also reportedly attracted interest from several rival clubs. The 22-year-old has played 11 games this season with mixed success in the halves as the Storm tried to cope with the absence of Cooper Cronk.
